I may not always be right, but I am always the boss
If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved
Just wanted to thank you for this website. There's nothing like starting out on the right foot (big tank properly cycled, lots of filtration, not too many fish, etc.) and Oscarfishlover was invaluable.
Haha...cool pics! And welcome to the forum...the Wisconsin crew are taking over now! haha!
-Come to the darkside...we have cookies! -I wake up every morning and I piss excellence! -I'm sorry...I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am!
Thanks everyone. *Sigh* The Barbs have been disappearing. As my Oscar's defense attorney, may I remind you that in the absence of a body there can be no conviction of foul play. It's possible they swam into his mouth while he was yawning. I don't really have room for Silver Dollars so the tank will probably wind up with an Oscar & a Firemouth (he's in there but he's reclusive).

Hey liltone09 and ikkie78,
Milwaukee will be hosting the American Cichlid Association's annual
Cichlid Fest
from July 22-25. Take a gander at least year's bash:
Okay, "bash" isn't the word I'm looking for (gathering?), but if you start cycling a new tank in May it should be ready for the rare fish you'll be able to find here. Also, you'll be able to talk to
Pam Chin
or ask
Jeff Rapps
if he's ever considered breeding miniature Oscars.
